Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

Hi,
Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
Thanks!

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

  • My music app shows it's still playing a song but it's playing next song without finishing the last song.

    Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
    This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
    This is an 8G black Nano.

  • Why is the Beats Music app only available on the 3rd Gen Apple TV? This is very irritating.

    Why is the Beats Music app only available on the 3rd Gen Apple TV? This is very irritating.

    Apple TV 2 has reached the end of it's iOS updates. there really won't be any more and the focus will be mainly on the Apple TV 3.
    You can sell the ATV2  for a few hundred dollars on eBay because the ATV2 is special in a way that I can't mention here. Use the money to buy an ATV3.
    I am in no hurry to do so myself and will continue using my ATV2 for some time.

  • Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    Because this is what Apple decided to do.
    We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

  • Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM?  Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

    Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM? 
    Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

    The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
    1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
    2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.
    3. Weather Channel CEO (David Kenny) also serves as Yahoo board member. So good luck changing the Weather Channel Yahoo agreement.
    4. The iPhone build in weather app is one of the world most popular apps, The Weather Channel has no incentive to make the Apple weather app as accurate as The Weather Channel own app.
    The result is – easy to use inaccurate weather app

    Hi there bananas321,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

    HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space.  One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

    There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:

  • Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ?

    Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ? If the Apple TV is not authorized, how come the itunes store still goes ahead to download anyway ?

    You need to be a bit more specific here.
    Surely you're not suggesting iTunes or AppleTv are downloading things you've not purchased and therefore not entitled to play.
    If it's something you've bought then there may be an authorisation issue with iTunes, AppleTv which could be due to a glitch (reboot AppleTV) or local/distant network issues.

  • Why are the .PDFs and collections on my iPad not on my iPhone

    I have several .pdf's and policy manuals on my iPad iBooks however only the Titles are on my iBooks on my iPhone - I have checked tha Syc and the iCloud settings.???

    I am using the same Apple ID and the Apple iCloud. Your reply indicates that the documents must be downloaded to both the iPad and iPhone and that if you only download the document to one device it does not automatically appear on the other device - as is with book for example.    Am i understanding this correctly?  in the iBooks settings what is the "Sync Collections" ?

  • Why can I not play certain songs which I have just downloaded?

    I recently download 10 new songs and only 3 of them work and play out load whereas the other 7 do not .If you tap them they only skip to the ones working.my new songs also do not appear on my laptop (not an apple product). Some of the non working songs have faded out the song title and artist.

    Hi, drhalm. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like your music is not stored locally on the device and accessing your purchases in the cloud.  There is a new feature in iOS 7 that shows all purchased music and requires and Internet connect to play this content.  You can download any missing media via the steps in the first article below.  If the media is located in your iTunes music library, you can sync the media from your Mac to your iPhone.  If unfamiliar with the process, I have included the steps in the second article below.

  • Why do the Apple default apps have so many issues?

    With my upgrade from my trusty but dying iPhone 4s to a shiny new iPhone 6, the additional screen real estate makes me want to do a whole lot more. Things that I would previously never have dreamed of doing now approach the realm of the possible. With that, the limitations of Apple’s own apps also come to light. What follows is a wish list of sorts, stuff that I wish Apple would “get right” so that I don’t need to find separate workarounds.
    Music
    Synchronization. As my music collection grew, sync issues and weird behavior went from being a once-in-a-product-lifetime anomaly to a regular occurrence. Sometimes, a significant portion of my music collection is missing on my iPhone. Other times, the album art is only partially there. Yet other times, I search for an album by name and see only a subset of tracks but then search by artist and all the tracks are there. Or the playlist label is there but some or all of the songs aren’t listed. It’s all perfect in iTunes, but not on my phone. I have disabled sync’ing over WiFi and now do so only over a wired connection to my iMac. I have changed USB ports. I have changed Lightning cables. Nothing seems to work.
    Search. The app always displays search results in the same way, regardless of which context I’m in. So irrespective of whether I’m in the Artists view or the Album view, results are displayed first by Artist, then by Album, then by Song. If I’m in the Album view, I want it by Album first! If I’m in the Playlists view, I want to search the titles of my playlists. Simple things.
    Alphabetical Search. From A, I scroll, scroll, scroll, and then it does P to # just beautifully. What happened to B to O?
    Genres view. This is a mess. The same genre shows up multiple times and, inexplicably, under different letters of the alphabet. Did this even go through QA?
    Notes
    Groups. I can only add a new group via my iMac’s desktop app (and possibly through a browser via iCloud.com, though I haven’t tried that). Why is this not possible in the iOS app?
    Synchronization. I have a whole bunch of notes in my iMac’s Notes app that do not show up on my iPhone. They did once, and then poof, gone. They’re all visible on iCloud.com, though for some reason the embedded photos are not. This lack of reliability forces me to use Evernote, which really shouldn’t be necessary. Sync should just work.
    Contacts
    Groups. I want to be able to create, edit and delete groups in the iOS app. I want to be able to add a new contact to a group without first having to Hide All Contacts, select the group I want, create an entry, flip over to Messages, then finally add the contact’s number from there to the new entry. Why is this so painful?
    Related Names. I love this, but why isn’t it smart? For example, if I add someone’s husband who is already listed in my contacts, then why doesn’t the wife automatically show up in the entry of that husband?
    Calendar
    Show All Notes. This does not, in fact, show all notes. It seems to cut off after a certain number of characters. If someone sets up a meeting invite in Outlook and there are oodles of intro text in the calendar entry’s body before the dial-in details are listed, then I cannot get to those details from my iPhone. I have to boot up my laptop and fire up Outlook, by which point I have missed half the meeting.
    Inbox. Some stuff from Outlook/Exchange shows up here. Other stuff does not. If I take an action such as to accept or to decline a meeting, this doesn’t clean up the invite from my Mail Inbox as it would in Outlook. Frustrating.
    No doubt, I have forgotten to list a few things. Apple, I know you pride yourself in the integration of hardware and software. Why, then, are the basics missing? Please get them sorted.

  • Why is the Apple Weather app always incorrect?

    For instance.  Today, Huntington Beach, CA, it says the high should be 75 degrees but its currently 82 degrees. 
    It's typically 5-10 degrees off, every day.  Beings that it is a mandatory app that is taking up my hard drive space, it would be nice if it was actually accurate.  Very annoying. Yes, I know that there are other Weather applications that work better, but why would I want to take up more of my valuable hard drive space??

  • Why are the events on my iPhone and iPad not showing on my Macbook Pro?

    Why isn't icloud posting events from my iPhone/iPad to my Macbook?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
